The complete Everest base camp trek September, 2019. Starting from Lukla (Nepal), then on to Phakding, Namche Bazaar, Phortse Thanga, Macchermo, Gokyo Ri, Dragnag, Chola pass, Dzongla, Gorekshep and finally the base camp. A detail map guide for the entire journey included for each day. Himalaya Trek with Treknomads after valley of flower trek.
After Namche Bazaar, there are two routes.
One directly goes to base camp via Tengboche - This is a shorter route that most of the trekkers follow.
Another route goes to Gokyo and then one has to cross Chola pass to reach base camp - This is a difficult and longer route.
We were going through the difficult route to reach base camp. For returning, we would take the shorter route.
Our next destination on that route was Phortse Thanga at 3680m. Altitude gain was not much.
Most parts of the trail were easy, and it contours around the side of the valley high above the Dudh Kosi.
As we moved through the zig-zag trail, we got some really good views of mountain Nuptse. The trail was very long.
Phortse Thanga was a very cold place.

Lyrics - The Happy Wanderer
---------------------------------
I love to go a-wandering
Along the mountain track
And as I go, I love to sing
My knapsack on my back
Val-deri, val-dera
Val-deri, val-dera
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha
Val-dera
My knapsack on my back
I love to wander by the stream
That dances in the sun
So joyously it calls to me
Come join my happy song
Val-eri, val-dera
Val-deri, val-dera
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha
Val-era
Come join my happy song
I wave my hat to all I meet
And They wave back to me
And blackbirds call so loud and sweet
From ev'ry green wood tree
Val-eri, val-dera
Val-deri, val-dera
Val-deri, val-dera
Oh, may I go a-wandering
Until the day I die
Oh, may I always laugh and sing
Beneath God's clear blue sky
Val-eri, val-dera
Val-eri, val-dera
Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha, ha
Ha
val-dera
Beneath the clear blue sky
Beneath the clear blue sky
